Quando devo trocar meu capacete?

Se seu capacete estiver velho ou apresentar danos, substitua-o. O capacete é projetado para absorver os impactos por meio da destruição parcial do casco e do revestimento. Pode ser que o dano não seja visível. Portanto, se sofrer um impacto forte, o capacete deve ser descartado e substituído, mesmo que pareça não ter danos. O capacete tem uma vida útil limitada e deve ser trocado quando apresentar sinais evidentes de desgaste.

Os componentes do capacete perdem sua resistência ao longo do tempo. Por isso, mesmo que o capacete não tenha sofrido algum impacto ou for danificado, substitua-o após três anos da data de sua aquisição.
